[uClibc]Recompiling libraries....

all!

the  easiest way would be to set
CC=/path/to/uClibc/extra/gcc-uClibc/i386-uclibc-gcc.
i386(orwhatever)-uclibc-gcc will act as a wrapper for gcc and modifies the
command line to exclude the original (glibc) headers/libraries and adds
uClibc headers/libraries before actually calling gcc.

you can also specify parameters manually if you don't like to use the
wrapper. the busybox Config/Makefile shows a good example.
